OK, so the HD video quality on some of the more recent movies is definitely improving on the Netflix streams. Each time they send me an email with the title “How was the Picture Quality of……?” I habitually click on “the quality was unacceptable” without even thinking. Well, now I need to change that….I need to think about my response, because I have seen some good HD streams. Apparently Netflix listens….and I love that. As for Apple including Netflix on the new Apple TV…..it is a REALLY good interface. TiVo, for example, limits us to only playing Netflix movies that we have previously added to our “Instant Queue.” This is not the case with the Apple TV. The entire streaming library is available directly from the Apple TV interface…in fact, your “Instant Queue” is now a convenience rather than a necessity. As I mentioned, this interface is really classy (great movie artwork, descriptions, etc…). You can search by Title, Browse by Genre, and there are all kinds of recommendations for you, including New Arrivals. Finding something interesting to watch via Netflix on the Apple TV is easy, it is intuitive, it looks good, and it it fun. On another topic…we received our ROKU XD set top box yesterday and played with it briefly. I’ll write up my impressions of it soon. Have a great day!!! M
